@mollydotcom THAT tweet deserves it鈥檚 own blog post. Or SOME sort of longer writeup/discussion. Because I think many people feel CSS=Design.

We can present visual designs using CSS. CSS itself is not design. @Transition

@mollydotcom It seems people confuse PRESENTING visual design w/ CSS with CREATING visual design w/ CSS. So, where鈥檚 viz design CREATED?

Our dear @Transition brings up a great question: Where is visual design created in the Web design/dev workflow? What do you think? #webdev

@mollydotcom @Transition Visual design doesn鈥檛 employ coding skills. It鈥檚 a web design skill requiring psychological understanding.

@Bhooshan @Transition I agree - and not just psychological understanding! Sociology, language, semiotics, color theory - the list is endless

@mollydotcom since it seems CSS PRESENTATION of viz design has become synonymous w/ viz design. Is it in the sketches? Photoshop comps?

@Transition I would say "CSS presentation of visual design to a given media surface" (including screen, mobile, print, projection, etc.)"

@mollydotcom @Transition Visual design should start after content and you know the purpose of the site.

@mollydotcom also, thanks for asking this for me. :-)
